Welfare system attacked in streets and courts
Washington report on NWRO and Legal Services forming a joint assault on welfare policy. The networks list 700 chapters and 125000 members on welfare and push for income, dignity, and policy participation, while Legal Services faces political pushback amid calls for an independent program. A notable tactic involved welfare recipients presenting checklists to demand missed benefits, prompting confrontations at offices.
